First harm: high blood sugar levels
A soft drink can, regardless of type, has about 39 grams of sugar. Can you imagine how big a health disaster this is?! All that sugar in just one can, plus you might eat food with it which raises your blood sugar even more, causing a noticeable increase over time, making you more likely to get type 2 diabetes.

Fourth harm: yellowing and tooth decay
